This typeface is a high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered, flaring stroke endings that read as sharp, sculpted serifs. The overall drawing is crisp and precise, with thin hairlines, pointed terminals, and a slightly calligraphic flow, especially visible in the curves and the angled joins. Uppercase forms feel tall and poised, while lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with compact proportions and clear counters; the numerals follow the same contrasty, engraved-like logic with fine joins and delicate interior apertures.
It suits magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, cultural posters, and elegant packaging where refined contrast can be a focal point. It also works well for short editorial pull quotes or titling in print and web layouts, particularly when set with comfortable tracking and ample leading.
The font projects a polished, high-end tone with a dramatic, editorial presence. Its sharp hairlines and flared finishes suggest luxury, sophistication, and a fashion-forward sensibility while still retaining a classical, bookish backbone.
The letterforms appear designed to combine classical serif structure with a sharper, more contemporary sense of contrast and taper, creating a distinctive display voice that remains orderly in running text at larger sizes. The flared endings and thin hairlines suggest an intention to deliver sophistication and visual drama without resorting to heavy ornament.
In text, the strong contrast creates a lively sparkle that favors larger sizes and generous spacing, where the hairlines and flares can remain distinct. The design’s pointed terminals and narrow internal spaces can look more delicate as size decreases, making it especially striking for display settings.
